Roof fire

Firefighters were called to a roof fire in Standford-le-Hope earlier today.

The residents were alerted to the fire after their neighbours spotted smoke coming from the roof. The occupants then immediately made their way out of the house and called us.

On arrival, crews reported that the roof of a bungalow was on fire and smoke logged.

Crews extinguished the fire by 4:43pm. The cause of the fire was accidental
